How To Make fish with lemon, butter & caper sauce
-
Step 1Three fillets rinsed and cut in half. I used pangasius here but I also like to use barramundi. I cut the fillets in half to make them easier to handle in the pan.
-
Step 2Season the fillets on both sides with lemon pepper, place the flour in a shallow dish and coat the fillets with flour and shake off excess.
-
Step 3Melt half the butter in a large non stick pan on medium high heat. Cook the fillets in batches, to golden brown, takes only a few minutes each side.
-
Step 4Remove to a serving plate, cover to keep warm.
-
Step 5When the fillets are all done, same hot pan, add the remaining butter, lemon or lime juice, zest, capers, and parsley. Stir and heat for one minute.
-
Step 6Place 1-2 fillets on each serving plate, spoon sauce over the fish, serve with sides of your choice. Enjoy.
